Advantages of Open-Die Forged Custom Blocks, Rectangles, and Flats

• Superior strength compared to plate or bar stock
• Improved grain structure for better performance and longer lifespan
• Allows for custom shapes and sizes unavailable in standard stock
• Minimizes excess material waste to help lower costs
• Provides better impact resistance for demanding applications
